One easy way might be to look at some pictures and compare.

Or if you could write down the bikes serial number and find out what it is by looking at this list.

1978, E , the only model built that year. 1979, F, standard model, SF, special model w/smaller gas tank and leading axle forks. 1980, G, standard model, SG, special, quite similar to the SF, LG, midnight special, all black special model. 1981, H, standard model, SH, special model, LH, midnight special, and in 81, also had the Venturer, I don't know what the letter designation was, if any. So, E started in 78, F in 79, G in 80, and H in 81. S plus the year letter was for the special, and L plus the year letter was the Midnight Special, the one with gold trim and all black engine, pipes, handlebars, and other doodads.put something smooooth betwen your legs, XS eleven
79 F (Blueballs)
79 SF (Redbutt)
81 LH (organ donor)
